I must admit that I don't understand your comment. Isn't the fact that Sun was
willing the take the risks and then able to so successfully port Solaris 10 to
the 64-bit Opteron/Athlon64 architecture a truly great feat? Can IBM/HP do
that? No. How about SGI? (SGI should serve a vivid example of the dire
consequences of going all Linux.)
W/o this, we will be forever stuck with the poor Slowaris_86 image. Then, as I
was told, if you care for an extra couple of 9's in the stability, go with the
SPARCs.
I think I begin to like OpenSolaris even more. Thanks again for taking time to
post your learned opinions.

I don't see it as a risk as much as it is an opportunity. HP "bought the
farm" with Itanium, and they are probably going to sink with it. IBM is
pushing Linux on POWER but not including the "cool" features of AIX into
Linux which in some ways is a shame. I can't comment on SGI because I
have never used their gear and have no basis for comparison.
